VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 07, 2017) - Minichiello Apparel Inc.

Cattivo Ragazzo is a luxury e-commerce brand owned by Minichiello combining direct measurement with the latest measurement software.

Minichiello makes it easy for men to get exceptional value in a custom tailored suit for a look that is professional, fashionable and truly sophisticated. Dino Minichiello continues his father's legacy dating back to 1964, the year in which Paul Minichiello founded the Minichiello tailoring legacy. Today, like his father, Dino is a fashion designer, renowned for his innovative designs and bold approach to menswear, setting his sights to redefine luxury in online menswear.

Subject to raising capital in addition to realizing sufficient cash flow from sales the Company's plans are to instill Artificial intelligence in continued software development, the opening of micro boutique locations in strategic urban locations and working with our existing Italian manufacturers to vertically integrate production.
